Model estimate
i
The model's chances for a home win, a draw and an away win. ❄ = the estimate was frozen within the last hour before kick-off (the model runs hourly) and no longer changes; “provisional” = it can still change until it is frozen. How good the model is can be seen on the calibration page.
No estimate yet: the model looks 14 days ahead, and a team needs 8 matches in the model window.
In three sentences
i
Three sentences, each from a figure in our database: what happened (streaks, form or head-to-head), why it matters today (rest, congestion, table, derby) and what the model estimates. Nothing hand-written, nothing guessed.
As of today, the away side have scored in each of their last 9 matches. The home side last played 2 days ago, the away side 4 days ago. The model has no estimate for this match yet.
Form, streaks, position and points are today's (25 Oct 2026), not the ones at kick-off: before this match the home side still have 4 league matches to play, the away side 4.
Side by side at a glance

The home side only in its home matches, the visitors only in their away matches, this season: goals scored and conceded, how often both teams scored, how often there were 3+ goals, how often they kept a clean sheet and how often they failed to score. Under each percentage: out of how many matches, and the league average on the same matches. It describes what happened, not what comes next.
